Self-doubt is the greatest enemy of any new good habit.
— Vitoria Moran —
Ok, we are only a few days into our HabitFast and I am certain some of you are already having doubts. Self-doubt is a tool the devil uses so we will stay as we are and not improve. The key to combating self-doubt is to WANT the future YOU more than the present you while replacing…
My life - my personality, my habits, even my speech – is a combination of the books I choose to read, the people I choose to listen to, and the thoughts I choose to tolerate in my mind.

What books are you reading? Who are you listening to? What thoughts are you tolerating? The answers to these three questions will tell you why you are what you are today and where you will be in the future. HabitFast Journey Action Steps: 1. Start the day-reflect, meditate, journal and prayerfully turn your plan over…
If you don’t decide what your life is about, it defaults to what you spend your days doing.

How intentional are you when it comes to living your life today in order to be what you want to be tomorrow? Every decision you make is taking you one step closer to or one step farther away from the person you aspire to be and the life God wants you to have. HabitFast…
And if you are doing the HabitFast Journey, you have something to be “on purpose” about. A life well lived is a life lived on purpose. “One way to define wisdom is the ability to see, into the future, the consequences of your choices in the present. That ability can give you a completely…
If breaking a habit has been hard for you to do, hard for you even to face, then a helping hand is in order.

Today is the DAY you begin starving an old habit and/or creating new productive habits. A couple of thoughts: 1. Don’t feel as though you need to be perfect during this journey. If a slip up turns into a set up for an even better HabitFast Journey, don’t throw in the towel. The ultimate measure…
The start of a perfect day begins the night before.

This is Day 7 of our preparatory phase of the 2015 HabitFast Journey. The final step in this process of preparing you for success in starving or starting your habit requires some discipline on your part as I strongly encourage you to reflect, journal and pray twice daily during your HabitFast Journey. Journaling and praying for…
If you do not pour water on your plant, what will happen? It will slowly wither and die. Our habits will also slowly wither and die away if we do not give them an opportunity to manifest. You need not fight to stop a habit. Just don’t give it an opportunity to repeat itself.

Great stuff from the Swami…don’t give your bad habit an opportunity to repeat itself. We are almost ready to start our 40 day fast…and if some of you have already started…no problem. The next step of the preparatory phase involves creating a scorecard to track your progress. You will need to designate a page or…
Those who expect moments of change to be comfortable and free of conflict have not learned their history.

Here we are on Day 5 of our HabitFast Journey and we haven’t even officially started starving or starting our habit(s) yet. As I mentioned earlier, the reason most goals are never attained is because of lack of planning and up to this point in our HabitFast Journey, we’ve been developing a plan. If breaking habits…

We are on Day 4 of the EagleLaunch-HabitFast Journey. Keep in mind the real fun does not start until February 25th. The first 7 days are all preparation days. We are going to starve and/or start our habit for 40 days and beyond, beginning next Wednesday. Today I would like for you to add to your…
OK, at this point in time you have at least one page in your journal dedicated to your 2015 HabitFast and so far you’ve written down whom you aspire to be, the habit you are starving, or starting, and what your life will look like in 5 years because of this change in habit(s). The…
